Abstract

Abstract This chapter elaborates on the Afro-Cuban religion Santería, which is one of the most popular religions of African origin in the Americas. It explores a Cuban example of such a “renewal” or appropriation of the African past and present in Cuban Santería. African-based religions in the Americas are more of a product of a transatlantic religious agency that actively reformed and renewed those traditions until the present day. The chapter then discusses the processes of religious globalization and transnationalization after the 1990s before considering strategies of re-Africanization in translocal religious settings. It considers a version of Lúkúmí that offers a more differentiated perspective on the construction and appropriation of the Yoruba religion.
